It’s the perennial debate: Do your sweet potatoes need marshmallows or not? Strong arguments have been advanced on both sides, but if you’re looking to experiment, these sweet roots can be much more than just a vehicle for mini mallows. You can mash them, roast them, bake them; serve them with drizzled vinaigrettes, bold cheeses, or bacon-sesame brittle (mmmm, bacon). And you can even have them for dessert.

When you’re shopping for the big day, be sure to choose small to medium sweet potatoes that are heavy for their size, and avoid any with bruises or signs of sprouting. Keep them in a cool, dark place for up to a week and do not refrigerate them.
